It sure is frustrating to watch right now - we need some more offensive power but can't give up the assets to do so. Only thing you can do is let them work through it, and that probably isn't good enough in the West.

I know what you mean and see where you're coming from. I'd pretty much agree with you 1:1 if it wasn't forthe fact that Burrows IS getting so many damned chances......chances of which he is creating on his own much of the time.

Contrast this to someone like David Booth who is completely invisible out there when he does play.

I have confidence that Burrows will break out of his funk at some point. With Booth......not so much.

On an unrelated note, the Canucks once again show their mental deficiencies as a team. Not only was I confident in knowing that we'd somehow blow our lead heading into the 3rd, but they gave up the go ahead goal just 9 seconds later. As I've been saying since 2009 now.......this team's biggest problem, collectively, is between the ears.

Do you think it's just coincidence that this team has struggled with it's offense since the Boston series? I don't think so. Such a shame with this core. I hope they turn things around but it's going to be tough.
